Inter Milan's crisis intensified on Sunday with a 2-1 defeat at Chievo, where Samuel Eto'o got away with an apparent Zinedine Zidane-like headbutt.
Inter president Massimo Moratti gave coach Rafael Benitez his backing after last weekend's derby defeat by leaders AC Milan, but another loss has left the Spaniard exposed with the champions now in sixth place, nine points off top spot.
Eto'o was not cautioned by the referee for his headbutt, but the Cameroon striker could be punished retrospectively.
He scored Inter's consolation goal late on after Sergio Pellissier and Davide Moscardelli put Chievo two up.
Second-placed Lazio also lost ground on Milan after a 1-1 draw at Parma that left the gap at three points.
Milan beat Fiorentina 1-0 on Saturday.
